Worth a Tale Lyrics

I'm drifting on my own odyssey
crossing Hercules Gates
floating past the Scylla's Hold
I waved and grinned: it's certain's death I'm told!
Yes... I could stay,
remain so safe, remain the same, so tame and lame and live in vain,
wake to a Day of Mays...
I'd rather burn and never fade than be afraid - No!
I'd better live for just one day and make it worth a tale

I laugh! In the face of death
I dance! On two broken legs
I laugh! There is always chance
I joke! With a rope around my neck

(I laugh!) In the face of death
I dance! On two broken legs
I laugh! Lying on my deathbed
I'm here... Nothing I regret!

Fear? Nay!
Doubts? Nay!
Guts? Aye!
Danger? Hey!
Dreams? Aye!
Turn Back? Nay!
Chances? Rare!
Death? May! Hahaha...
I crossed the seas just to spread my name
carve it high on the mountain range
I forced the stone to remember me
while I'll be gone like writings in the sand...
I'll make it worth a tale...

I laugh! In the face of death
I dance! On two broken legs
I laugh! There is always chance
I joke! With a rope around my neck

(I laugh!) In the face of death
I dance! On two broken legs
I laugh! Lying on my deathbed
I'm here... Nothing I regret! (Nothing I regret)

Fear? Nay!
Doubts? Nay!
Guts? Aye!
Danger? Hey!
Dreams? Aye!
Turn Back? Nay!
Chances? Rare!
Death? May!
I've seen the end of the world I was never really scared
I'd look straight at the Gorgo's face,
don't think I wouldn't dare!
And if we set out tomorrow now
to see the Mountain Ablaze
and it meant to go down and fail
I'd do it all again...
I'd rather live for just one day and make it worth a tale...

I laugh! In the face of death
I dance! On two broken legs
I laugh! There is always chance
I joke! With a rope around my neck

(I laugh!) In the face of death
I dance! On two broken legs
I laugh! Lying on my deathbed
I'm here... I feel no more dread...
Nothing... Nothing I regret!
